The Pro Kabaddi League has seen many players shine at the biggest franchise-based stage of them all, but for the first time in the history of the coveted tournament, we will see a son play alongside his father on the same mat.
Vinay Kumar Narwal has joined the Dabang Delhi squad, where he will feature alongside his father Joginder Narwal. The 19-year-old has been one of the biggest emerging prospects from the New Young Player program. Vinay plays the left corner position just like his father, who is one of the biggest names in the Pro Kabaddi League.
Joginder Narwal is one of the most experienced players in his position. He has been the cornerstone to Dabang’s rise in the previous seasons of the tournament. He has established as one of the best in the game with 173 tackles points in his 83 appearances since the initiation of the league.
It will be very interesting to see how Dabang Delhi fare this season in the league after a heartbreaking loss in the finals of the tournament last season.
DD stacked to the brim as they look to clinch their maiden league title
Dabang Delhi will look forward to the upcoming season of the PKL as they start their campaign against Puneri Paltan on December 23. The Delhi-based franchise is one of the most successful teams in the history of the tournament based on their win-loss record and will hope to clinch their maiden title.
Their roster is stacked with experienced names such as Manjeet Chhillar, Jeeva Kumar, Joginder Narwal, and the Arjuna awardee Sandeep Narwal making them one of the most formidable defensive lineups this season.
With new additions in the squad after the PKL Auction, the team has found a perfect blend of experience alongside youngsters to bolster their ranks and are ready to tussle against their opponents.
Dabang Delhi fans will hope that the team can forget the setback from last season and bounce back to perform up to the expectations.
